Cars, Phones and bitching.
So the Kia is over at Dorschel Kia getting a new engine, and a new set of front tires, and an alignment. So far I have been thrilled with the service I have received from the dealer so I have no fear of the outcome, though being without a car is very strange.
At the same time I’m playing with the Blackberry 7100t that I bought last week, it is an amusing little device and so far I am happy with the service. I’ve used barry and msynctool to synch my LDAP address book to the device and gcalsync to pull my google calendar down. It is a really slick tool and a handful of useful procmail recipes kick the e-mails I want to the T-Mobile provided Blackberry push e-mail account. The IMAP synch works but it takes about 20 minutes for a new message to show up on the Blackberry so using procmail to kick messages to the push account makes a lot more sense.
Now that it looks like I’ll be using T-Mobile for a while I am trying to write a scraper for the my.t-mobile.com site to track my minutes and data usage, but their website is full of perverted JavaScript, so it’s fairly difficult to extract useful information from it.
